Here are three keys to the Cougars’ loss:

BYU had 19 turnovers and the Commodores scored 18 points off those turnovers.
Vanderbilt star Scotty Pippen Jr. scored a game-high 23 points, including the Commodores’ final 16 points.
Alex Barcello scored a team-high 15 points. His jumper in the paint with five seconds remaining that could have tied the score, and potentially forced overtime, rimmed out.
